Definitions
- the invention disclosed herein relates generally to a method and means for providing temperature compensation for elements whose sensitivity is a function of electric current therethrough, and more particularly to a method and circuitry for compensating for the temperature dependence of the sensitivity of Hall effect elements and other elements with similar characteristics.
- a Hall effect element may be used as a stable signal generator or as a switch or boundary value indicator which functions without physical contact.
- the theory of operation of a Hall effect generator is well-known. The effect may be generally described as follows. If a block or sheet of suitable material having orthogonal axes x,y and z is fitted with a pair of input electrodes such that a current flows along the x axis, and if a magnetic field is passed through the material generally parallel to the y axis, then a Hall voltage will be produced across the material in the direction of the z axis. A pair of output electrodes may be connected to the material such that the Hall voltage can be applied to an output circuit.
- Hall element maintaining a constant current through a Hall element may not be feasible in some situations.
- the Hall element in British Pat. No. 1,247,955 is described as having decreasing resistance with increasing temperature which is generally opposite to the temperature response of known Hall effect materials. Operation of the output circuit appears to depend on this unconventional temperature dependence.
- the Hall element and compensation circuit disclosed in the patent are not well adapted to manufacture by the most common present monolithic integrated circuit fabrication processes.
- the applicants have provided a unique temperature compensation method and circuit which is simple and applicable to various elements of the type whose sensitivity is a function of electric current therethrough. It is also readily manufactured with elements, such as Hall elements, in monolithic integrated circuit form by common integrated circuit fabrication processes.
- the present invention is a method and circuit which compensates for the variable sensitivity of a Hall element (or other element with similar characteristics) by means of a voltage reference that tracks the Hall voltage over temperature.
- the Hall voltage is then compared with the reference voltage and an output signal is produced based on the relative magnitudes of the voltages.
- the reference voltage may be generated by producing a current proportional to the current through the Hall element and passing this current through an impedance device.
- the circuit for generating the reference voltage may include first and second current conducting branches, one of which contains the impedance device, means for controlling the sum of the currents through the branches in accordance with the current through the Hall element, and means for differentially controlling the currents in the branches in accordance with the Hall voltage.
- FIG. 1 is a partially block and partially schematic drawing of a Hall element and associated temperature compensation circuit in accordance with the applicants' invention.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of a preferred embodiment of a Hall element and associated temperature compensation circuit in accordance with the applicants' invention.
- reference numeral identifies a Hall effect element or other element exhibiting similar characteristics.
- the element will be referred to as a Hall element.
- the Hall element produces an output voltage given by the equation
- V HO is the Hall offset voltage
- K 1 is a temperature independent constant
- B is magnetic flux density.
- This voltage has a large negative temperature coefficient since I H decreases rapidly with increasing temperature. Accordingly, the Hall element sensitivity (K 1 I H ) also decreases rapidly with increasing temperature. Compensation for decreasing sensitivity can be provided by constructing a voltage reference that tracks the Hall output voltage over temperature.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a concept for incorporating such a reference into a comparator.
- a fixed voltage is supplied to Hall element 10 and the remainder of the circuit through a supply terminal 11.
- Element 10 is connected between terminal 11 and the collector of an NPN transistor 12 whose emitter is connected to a source of reference potential or ground 13.
- Transistor 12 is part of a current mirror which also includes an NPN transistor 14 whose emitter is connected to ground 13.
- the bases of the transistors are connected together and to the collector of transistor 12. Accordingly, a current through transistor 12 results in a proportional current through transistor 14.
- the constant of proportionality K 2 depends on design parameters of the transistors.
- the Hall output voltage of element 10 is applied between the bases of a pair of NPN transistors 15 and 16.
- the emitter of transistor 15 is connected directly to the collector of transistor 14, and the emitter of transistor 16 is connected to the collector of transistor 14 through a variable resistor 17.
- the current through transistor 14 is the sum of currents I C1 and I C2 through transistors 15 and 16 respectively.
- the magnitude of current I C2 relative to I C1 depends on the resistance of resistor 17 and the differential base drive voltage provided to transistors 15 and 16 by Hall element 10. As shown in FIG. 1, currents I C1 and I C2 are supplied through supply terminal 11 and are detected by current detectors 18 and 19 respectively.
- the comparator input voltage required to cause current I C1 to equal current I C2 is given by the equation ##EQU1## where ⁇ V BE is the difference in the base to emitter voltages of transistors 15 and 16, K 2 is a temperature independent constant and R 1 is the resistance of resistor 17. Voltage V C is in essence a reference voltage against which the Hall output voltage can be compared. The temperature coefficient of the reference voltage is determined by current I H . Thus, temperature tracking between the Hall output voltage and the reference voltage is assured.
- the circuit of FIG. 2 further includes an active load device comprising PNP transistors 20 and 21 having their bases connected together, their emitters connected to supply terminal 11 and their collectors respectively connected to the collectors of transistors 15 and 16.
- the collector of transistor 20 is also connected to the bases of transistors 20 and 21 through the base-emitter electrodes of a PNP transistor 22.
- Transistors 20 and 21 are designed so that the collector current of transistor 21 is equal to the collector current of transistor 20.
- the junction of the collectors of transistors 16 and 21 is connected to the base of a PNP transistor 23 in an arrangement symmetrical to that of transistor 22.
- the emitter of transistor 22 is connected to supply terminal 11 through a resistor 24.
- the emitter of transistor 23 is connected to supply terminal 11 through a PNP transistor 25 whose collector is shorted to its base.
- the collectors of transistors 22 and 23 are connected to terminals of a current mirror comprising NPN transistors 26 and 27 whose bases are connected to the collector of transistor 26 and whose emitters are connected to ground 13. More specifically, the collector of transistor 22 is connected directly to the collector of transistor 26 and the collector of transistor 23 is connected to the collector of transistor 27 through a resistor 28.
- the current mirror comprising transistors 26 and 27 is designed such that the collector current of transistor 27 is equal to the collector current of transistor 26.
- the collector of transistor 27 is also connected to the base of an NPN transistor 30 whose emitter is connected to ground 13 and whose collector is connected to supply terminal 11 through a resistor 31.
- the collector of transistor 30 is connected to the base of an NPN transistor 32 whose emitter is connected to ground 13 and whose collector is connected to supply terminal 11 through a resistor 33.
- the collector of transistor 32 is connected to the base of an NPN transistor 34 whose emitter is connected to ground 13 through a resistor 35 and whose collector is connected to supply terminal 11 through a resistor 36.
- the emitter of transistor 34 is connected to the base of an NPN transistor 37 whose emitter is connected to ground 13 and whose collector is connected to an output terminal 38.
- the collector of transistor 34 is connected to the junction between Hall element 10 and the current mirror comprising transistors 12 and 14 through a resistor 40.
- collector currents of transistors 23 and 27 are equal. That condition results in an indeterminate base drive for transistor 30, which is the nominal switching point for the following circuitry.
- the collector current of transistor 27 is equal to the collector current of transistor 26 by virtue of the current mirror connection, which in turn is equal to the collector current of transistor 22.
- Equal collector currents for transistors 22 and 23 imply equal base voltages for the transistors, assuming that the transistors are identical. This implies that the collector currents of transistors 15 and 20 and 16 and 21 are equal. The circuit is thus in a balanced condition.
- the magnetic field applied to Hall element 10 is slightly vaired so as to increase the voltage on the base of transistor 15 and decrease the voltage on the base of transistor 16. This will increase the collector current of transistors 15 and 20.
- the collector current of transistor 20 is mirrored to the collector of transistor 21.
- the increased collector current is reflected as an increased voltage at the base of transistor 23, thus decreasing conduction through the transistor and decreasing the voltage at the base of transistor 30 so as to decrease conduction therethrough.
- Turning transistor 30 OFF tends to turn transistor 32 ON which tends to turn transistor 34 OFF which turns transistor 37 OFF so as to provide a high voltage state at output terminal 38.
- Converse operation of the circuit occurs when the magnetic field applied to element 10 is varied so as to increase the voltage at the base of transistor 16 and decrease the voltage at the base of transistor 15.
- the circuit provides for temperature independent switching of output signal state based only on the magnetic flux applied to element 10.
- Resistor 24 functions to guarantee sufficient emitter current for transistor 22 so that the circuit will operate even through the betas of transistors 20 and 21 are sufficiently high that the base currents of the transistors are not adequate to supply the required emitter current.
- Transistor 25 insures that the bases of transistors 22 and 23 are at the same voltage, i.e., two base-emitter voltage drops below the supply voltage, to provide complete comparator circuit balance.
